Responsibility

In New York State, our towns have been organized with an elective legislative body, which is the Town Board. Our Town Board consists of a Supervisor and four Council Members and as a group, represents the executive head of the town. The Town Board as a whole serves as the executive, administrative and legislative body of the town. An individual board member may not unilaterally act on behalf of the Town Board. The Board acts as a unit and must function as a body.

Town Council Members serve a term of four years and the Supervisor's term is two years. Election of members of the Town Board is on odd numbered years, with the Council Members staggered at two-year intervals, so that the entire Board will not come up for election in the same year.
